"My first impression was that i thought he was very knowlageble and that his staff was wonderful and that never changed. Of course i had to go through the whole pcp, dietision, psych exam thing that took about 6 months but My case worker amanda at port neches was with me every step of the way. She made it so mush easier for me throughout. When it came time to get my answer from my insurace company She was on the like white on rice until i got my approval. I had my sugery 5 days later. The staff was so kind to me and Pam at the houston office was so sweet and made me feel very comfortable even though i was nervouse about the surgery. I could have asked for better care. I had my surgery at university general hospital and i have to say it was the most beautiful hospital i have ever seen. I got a room of my own and they treated us like vips. Dr spiegel came by right before our surgeries and gave us a wonderful welcome. I would give him and his staff a 9/10. After care was written out verbatum in the lap band bible so i call it. It was in my pre-op bag and i read the entire thing before i had the procedure. So i was very comfortable with the after care. I belive that future people looking to get this surgery should go to The best surgen available and that is Dr. Spiegle. And his staff who of wich most of them have been banded themselves know what it is like for patients and are very sympathetic to those about to have the procedure. good luck to all of you and i hope that your experiance is as great as mine was. Now these are just my opinions but i stick by them. Thanks for reading."
